Something become very evident to me yesterday, that I do a lot of tasting when i am cooking. I love to cook, and don't often follow a recipe when cooking meals - I just wing it. I love creating new and old dishes, and this requires tasting to see if more spices, salt etc are needed.
But it occurred to me that I do this a lot more than necessary.
I know when I am hungy and I'm cooking I'll often sneak a spoonful of whatever it is I'm making. And not just one spoonful. If it's super yummy...I'll sneak a few before it even gets to the plate.
Hmmm Hidden Calories! Not Good!
What I am wondering now is just how many more calories is this adding to my diet every day?
This is something that I am going to be much more aware of and put a stop to this bad habit. Yes, food may need to be tested at times, but maybe I will get a teaspoon out and limit it to a small tsp full to get a taste - no more eating before it gets to the plate!
ps. I just got told today that I'm looking good, and asked if I had lost some weight! Woo Hoo - love it when others start to notice...even if it has only been a couple of kg's.
